In anticipation of the forthcoming adoption of regulations on packaging and packaging waste, the Association Polymers is spearheading a critical discussion on the pivotal role of recycling. According to Tsvetanka Todorova, Chair of the Association, the quality collection and recycling of waste represent the primary pathway towards achieving the European Union's ambitious targets for packaging waste reduction and utilization of recycled content.

Todorova emphasizes that Bulgaria's current situation falls short of EU standards due to the inadequate quality of waste processed by recycling facilities. To bridge this gap, she underscores the imperative for robust collaboration between businesses, government entities, and municipalities, all of whom must demonstrate unwavering commitment to effective waste management practices.

The discussion organized by the Association Polymers serves as a platform for stakeholders to address critical challenges and explore innovative solutions in the realm of packaging waste recycling. By fostering open dialogue and cooperation, the aim is to drive meaningful progress towards aligning Bulgaria's recycling infrastructure with EU directives and sustainability objectives.

At the heart of the conversation lies the recognition that successful recycling initiatives require a concerted effort from all sectors of society. From implementing stringent waste collection protocols to investing in advanced recycling technologies, stakeholders must work hand in hand to overcome existing barriers and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Bulgaria's recycling ecosystem.

Moreover, Todorova highlights the importance of leveraging EU regulations as catalysts for positive change, advocating for proactive measures to improve waste management practices and promote circular economy principles. By embracing sustainable packaging solutions and prioritizing the use of recycled materials, Bulgaria can reduce its environmental footprint and contribute to a greener, more resilient future.
